Receiving an Incoming Call During an Intercom Call
If you receive a telephone call during an intercom call, the intercom call is
immediately terminated and both handsets ring. Either handset user may press the
TALK or SPEAKER button to answer the call.
Using Intercom with External Telephone Calls
During a telephone call, you may use the intercom/paging function to page another
handset and have an off line, private (two-way) intercom conversation. You may also
have a three-way conversation between the external caller and the handsets, or you
may transfer the external telephone call to another handset.
NOTE: Before you intercom/page another handset, you must
decide whether you want to create a two-way or a three-way
conversation.
Two-Way Calling
1. During an external call, press the delete/intercom/conf button, and use the touch-
tone pad to enter the handset number you want to call.
NOTE: The receiving handset presses the delete/intercom/conf
button to answer the intercom call. Both intercom users may speak
privately. The external caller will not hear the intercom conversation.
. When finished, press the END/cancel button or delete/intercom/conf button to
end the intercom call, return to the talk mode, and resume your original telephone
conversation.
